It's a teaching hospital! What do you expect?
How are the students suppose to learn without the real practical?...

My Advice:- Avoid teaching hospitals. It's that simple!

that is what I am telling you that it is wrong, if things were going right in this country you could have sued them and be compensated or they will fined heavily, even a dead body sometimes needs consent from the relatives to take parts or use the body as a teaching case, it's not fair...
sue people that treated ur wife and she had a safe delivery? U dont sue like that o, except u want to make of yourself. U already consented when u went their hospital and registered.
U can sue if the patient died and suspected foul play.
When u registered, were u told that it was only 1 doctor there that would treat your wife?
When ur patient goes to the theatre for sugery, do u know how many doctors and nurses of both gender that operate on them? And they open everything. Forget that thing.

I believe you can decline especially if you are not comfortable with the student or any doctor at all.
I have declined to be checked for dilation severally, I honestly cannot allow one person to deep hand into my vagina to check not to talk of a group of students.
If it's time for the baby to come out, she sure will.

My own is that the consultant should be around when these student doctors are treating patient. That was how one yeye female student Dr trying to fill my molar drilled it until it cracked while she was distracted with gossip from fellow interns. They have to remove the tooth I came to fix.

I vowed never to go to teaching hospital after the incident

Some people are illiterates but went through the four walls of the university. What's is the correlation between a signboard and a patient's privacy. The fact that you are a patient and need medical treatment doesn't mean that you should be treated like a lab rat. A patient's consent should be duly asked before you call other prospective doctors to come in. Nigerians always doing like they know everything.

Like asking for the patients' consent? Like telling them that is completely voluntary?

GAZZUZZ:
It's a teaching hospital, and you are the sick patient. Unless you or the person that brought you did not see the signboard when entering. How will the students be taught without you?

You are saying something different. When you go to a hospital they will ask you the reason for coming to the hospital. The patient can say he wants to see a doctor because he isn't feeling fine. A patient won't say i want to see doctors. I personally i feel uncomforable going to the hospital especially when those aproko nurses are there.
Re: Exposing Of Patients To Student Doctors In Teaching Hospitals Without Consent by OlujobaSamuel: 7:56pm On Jan 27, 2021
Lol. I don't really know why people dey complain, there are enough patients that no one might even remember you except probably you have a special case.
I once had swollen testis, went to visit a pharmacist (he is also into clinical services as wife is a nurse), I was told he is busy, so I saw the wife, I told her about my condition and showed her immediately, the support staff(mostly ladies) were surprised that I wasn't bothered about their presence, I was like so what, Na me know the kind pain I went through before coming here, so Na una sabi.

I was reading the comments and never wanted to drop a comment...until I found your own comment.
I think people just have to know their rights. everyone have to start speaking up too. I am in a medical college myself and we are always reminded of how important seeking consent is...and why we must always protect the privacy of our patients.

How about in non teaching govt hospital involving non medical staff, these technician guys entering labour ward, rolling in some equipments and actually stopping to look down at the open legs of a woman in labour, the doctor was observing the woman in labour and this guy was beside him looking down directlydiscussing with doctor matron came over to tell the doctor that this guy is not supposed to be beside him looking directly but the doctor waved her of.

The lady was certified fully dialated few minutes after the incident and taken to delivery room but the scenario rings In her memory.

The fact that students are suppose to learn doesn't mean they should invite the students without the patients consent. The doctor should be polite enough to ask if a patient will be comfortable should the doctor invite the students. Patients will be lying down naked and u will just call some strangers in. It's crazy

Normal in teaching hospitals. They have zero regards for privacy. I had a bed ridden friend who had a female student nurse shave his balls. So embarassing.

You should have shaved it for him then.
He's bed ridden and likely couldnt shave himself properly before the procedure they were going to do on him.
The kind nurse helped him do it.
Do you think they enjoy holding different balls, some stinky?

I had medical education in OAU , did residency in UITH before leaving the country and I can say that in majority of cases, consent is sought before students are allowed for examination.
There may be few instances that didn't happen but it's not a routine.
Consent can be implied or expressed.
But yes, consent should be sought before examination are done, this should be expressed when trainees are with the clinician.

A teaching hospital is so called because it where doctors are taught clinical medicine..
If you want ur privacy, go to a private hospital

What are you saying? Oya open your scrotum let them be swerving left, right, up and down. So becos it's a teaching hospital there shouldn't be privacy abi? Nigerians really need to see what happens outside the shores of this country.

Don't mind them. Half baked knowledge is sometimes worse than no knowledge at all. The very act of registering at a teaching hospital for treatment automatically means that you have consented to your case being used as a teaching aid for future doctors. Just like registering for a sim card also automatically means you have read and agreed to the network's terms and conditions.


This comment is incredibly ignorant.
You have a right to privacy even in a teaching hospital

What's the difference between student doctor and doctor

After all, na students dey finally turn doctors with no extra trainings

You are the foolish one because you fail to understand that in any specialization experience matters. Can you compare a student with a doctor with 30years experience? Do you know how many people have died because of their inexperience. Your comment reeks of stupidity and ignorance

People seem to forget that the teaching hospitals mainly exist for the student's sake.
Teaching is a major part of any teaching hospital. Infact, they do 60%more teaching activities than ordinary clinical activities. Every clinical activity sef is a teaching session, so raise that to 90%.. As they are teaching students, they are teaching their resident Drs too.
If there were no students, these specialists would be running their own show in private hospitals where you can pay them their true worth.
They are actually paid teaching allowances

Nigerians are just too ignorant. some have had their brains so twisted round they can't even tell what is right from what is wrong.

this is from King's college hospital london...A leading teaching hospital in the world


"Healthcare students
King’s is a teaching hospital where our students get practical experience by treating patients. Please tell your doctor or nurse if you do not want students to be involved in your care. Your treatment will not be affected by your decision.
This law works there because white people don't care that much, just a few may mind.If they make this a law in Nigeria,no human being will avail theirself to be used and then the students won't learn properly.That's it.

I had reason to go to a teaching hospital for piles, I hated the examination. It was painful. Next time u had it at a General hospital, I definitely rejected being examined and demanded medication.

The senior specialist sided with me that I was right. It is your right to reject an examination that violates your self.worth. student Doctors are probably the worst in that they pass childish comments in patients presence
